Probate is the legal process where a deceased person's estate plans are validated, ensuring their wishes are honored. It involves distributing trust assets, settling debts, and addressing estate taxes. 

While probate administration is court-supervised and involves managing a probate estate through probate court, trust administration happens outside the court system and focuses on distributing assets held in living trusts. A certified specialist in estate planning trust and probate law, like those at Tirey Law Firm, ensures both processes are handled correctly, protecting beneficiaries and honoring the terms of the estate plans.

The cost of managing a probate estate or overseeing trust administration depends on factors like the complexity of the estate administration, the number of assets, and the need for probate court intervention. 

By following trust and probate law carefully, these processes ensure trust assets are distributed properly, preventing disputes among heirs. A skilled probate and trust lawyer also helps mitigate risks, resolve conflicts, and ensure the wishes of the deceased person are fully respected.
